"There is no fundamental difference between man and the higher mammals in their mental faculties."

I always feel drawn to the orangutan exhibit when visiting the zoo, but it always sits a bit heavy on my chest.
The way they move - slow, deliberate, impossibly bored, unmistakably intelligent. So ... human?
Even knowing the good intentions, there's a part of me that keeps doing the math and not liking the result.
What's the difference between a zoo and a prison to an animal? A prison you might eventually get out of.

These are using the Holy Snail technique from Patrick Van De Ven, I tried a couple different ideas for getting the orangutan forehead, a bigger ridge would work but it sort of overshadows in a picture.
